It’s been a poor year for summer flowers on the plot. As I mentioned recently there were no sunflowers, the pot marigolds came and went very quickly and various seeds simply never appeared.
However looking round yesterday morning there was some summer colour. There are plenty of nasturtium flowers, mostly zingy orange which I have to say I’m not keen on along with a few of these creamy-yellow ones.
Thankfully the cosmos are flowering reasonably well with the usual mix of pink, red, white and some bi-colours.
They should keep going until well into the autumn.
I nearly overlooked this very small nigella/love-in-a-mist as it’s barely 3 inches/7.5 cm tall. As you can see it’s had two flowers and now got two more.
At home the white rose Iceberg is flowering again. I took this picture yesterday and posted it on Bluesky (where it’s got 100 likes), Facebook, Mastodon and X (formerly Twitter).
Have a good weekend, and take care!

The Iceberg rose deserves the “likes” you got on BlueSky. Your cosmos is pretty. Cosmos is such a reliable annual. My nigella have come and gone and the seed pods are shriveled because it has been so hot and dry this summer. There is always next summer to hope for better results!

I wish cosmos were more reliable for me (waah!)

Nikki it’s a shame that they’re not. xx

Liz thanks. I agree about the cosmos. That’s a shame, perhaps some will have self-seeded. There is indeed, and let’s hope we all have a better year. xx

Your rose is pure and beautiful. A lovely specimen. You have a number of online posting outlets. How do you keep up with them all?
We are back to signing in from here there and everywhere, so this may not get to you.
Have a lovely weekend. Xxxx

Menhir I’m glad you like it. I spend most of the time on Bluesky, I have a quick at the others once, perhaps twice, a day. The problem is that I have longtime online friends on all of them who aren’t anywhere else.
I have similiar problems when comment on a couple of WordPress blogs, it’s so annoying at times.
Thanks, and you too. xx

Your rose is lovely … so are the other flowers on your post.
I especially like the cosmos.
It will soon be Friday and then the weekend, the weather is still too hot and for many (me included) we need more rain!
Sending good wishes.
All the best Jan
